Upon enactment of the Basic Education Act, 2013, the disciplinary measures were not provided for.

I would like to urge Members that it is good that we educate parents so that when they go to parents’ meetings they do not just agree to proposals intended to increase school fees. They should not just agree to what they have been prompted. They need to scrutinize before they approve.

A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor."
